Are universities charged for total enrollment, even if some students don’t qualify for StartNoo?
No. Universities are only charged for enrolled students who qualify for StartNoo, subject to contractual minimums.
Where does the money for student loans and tuition come from?
There are two ways funding pays for tuition and student loans.
First, the money comes from existing university scholarships. These scholarships are re-executed as service-based scholarships, and donors are invited to engage with students and measure progress.
Second, students can raise donations directly to their profiles. When donors engage with students individually, such donations are not tax-deductible, but donor engagement is the same.
Do university alumni with student loans have access to StartNoo?
Yes. Universities can choose to include alumni.
Where do the service opportunities come from?
The service opportunities are created by StartNoo verified nonprofit organizations. Service opportunities can either happen in person or virtually.
Which students qualify for StartNoo?
Students with a balance on their bursar account or with student loans qualify for StartNoo.

Student loans, for the purposes of StartNoo, are not considered financial aid.
What can donors see?
Donors can see the public profiles of students and nonprofits that they helped.
Donors also have access to a dashboard that provides them with analytics about their contributions, impact and causes.
